The number of hours that Jasmine can work so she can afford the new headphones x = 6 weeks.
let x represent the number of weeks it will take to save enough money.
If she saves $11 each week, then in x weeks she will save 11x dollars.
Add this to the 107 she has already saved, and at the end of 11 weeks she will have
11x + 107 dollars.
We want the amount saved to be equal to the price of the bike, so our equation is
11x + 107 = 173
In a word problem, writing the equation is usually the hardest part. Now we solve the equation.
Subtract 107 from both sides to get
11x = 66
Divide both sides by 11 to get
x = 6 weeks.

Answer:
x = -3
Step-by-step explanation:
y = x + 8 and x + y = 2
Using substitution, we know that y = x + 8, so:
x + y = 2
x + (x + 8) = 2
2x + 8 = 2
2x = -6
x = -3
Then we solve for y:
x + y = 2
-3 + y = 2
y = 2 + 3
y = 5
